摘要：

Children's doses of drugs are prescribed according to bodyweight but in resource-poor countries weighing scales may be unavailable, inaccurate, or broken. We designed a length/weight tape far use in our community and found It reasonably accurate for weights of 4-16 kg and better than a clinician's guess.
